Today's episode was so much better than yesterdays.
For a second there, I wanted to start my gaali process for Surya when he left her at the bus stop (he was angry and dropped her bag too) but then how could he LOL. Whoever in the AT wanted a gunda scene - we got a chotu sa glimpse of it. It was funny seeing him hold the eve teaser by the pants haha.
Pleasantly surprised that Surya is actually aware of how to make Imlie agree. He is really doing tedi ungli to take out the ghee. Instead of being angry at her, he used his brain and made her realize that he will follow her wherever she goes. It was nice of him to show her how flop her plan was. Finally, Imlie agreed when he told her she wont have to deal with the family, he will tackle that.
He understands where this marriage stands and has no expectations. He just wants to take care of Imlie (for a year till she is able to be independent) and has no attraction towards her. It all made sense to me. Neither of them want this marriage. It was good to see them be civil to each other. This is what I wanted to see - them talking, some progress in the relationship.
Surya smartly told the whole family that he wants time to proceed with the suhaagraat - icky that such topics are being discussed in the living room with full family presence. Private topics like these should not be a matter of discussion. Imlie Surya could easily go to the room and may be pretend they are doing ding dong
. Are the family members going to come in the morning to check proof?
I am loving the Tayi character - she is definitely regressive but as Surya pointed out there is a lot of history there. Despite being a woman if she thinks the husband holds power in a marriage, there must be some thing that happened. I was happy she agreed not to interfere in private matters of husband and wife but also told them to stay in the same room. Chachi is a sweetheart and I would for her and Imlie to hit it off.
Anyway, I am happy Surya told her not to try to change things in his family as she was going to live with them only for a year. Also, happy that Imlie was assertive enough that she will not follow any rules which she does not agree with.
Surya buri tarah phasega between his Tayi and her usul, his wife and her values and the aanewala toofan mail Anjali.
The precap - I loved the outfits of Surya and Imlie. Finally some cheer in the show with Holi. I don't care about Anjali - they need to bring elements to draw these two together.
